Abstract

Based on the multi-level research post mortem examination of patients with HIV/TB co-infection, supplemented by the results of immunohistochemical and electron microscopic studies, followed by computer morphometric analysis revealed the presence of structural, functional, including immunophenotypic regularities of pathologicalanatomical changes in HIV/TB co-infection. Based on this research, we developed a method for post-mortem pathological- anatomical diagnosis of HIV/TB co-infection, which is proposed to be introduced in pathology departments of healthcare institutions.
